Massachusetts collected $407 million in license taxes during the second quarter of 2025, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Quarterly Summary of State and Local Taxes.

In addition to detailed tax revenue data from each state, the Quarterly Summary of State and Local Government Tax Revenue includes an estimate of state and local government tax revenue at a national level.

The Census Bureau cautions that it sets the tax classifications among the survey categories, and they may differ from the classifications set by state governments.

Overall, Massachusetts collected $14.7 billion in combined tax revenues in Q2.
